Growing an Avocado from Seed

My avocado tree is 6 months old now, its doing well and has become a part of my house. I started growing it from a seed to be a houseplant, however, I'm not sure whether or not it can be. (Do I have to plant it outside?) I would hate for it to not be doing well. Do I just need to get it a large pot or do I have to plant it outside?

Normally the tree should be planted in the ground. However, people have made avocado trees as houseplants. Many times a person will plant the seed to watch it grow. Unfortunately, not all seeds will produce fruit.

In order to tell if your tree is fruit bearing or not look at the main root of the tree. If it splits at the bottom and has 2 roots then it should bear fruit. Otherwise, it is a male tree and won't bear fruit.
